and now i thought i would show u all the steps to hand quilting it.
This is my favorite thing to do, settle down at the frame and quilt.

Here are the things i will use, Stencils, marking took, (i use a Fons@Porter mechanical Pencil. It comes with dark and white lead. ) 1/4 in marking tape, Needle puller, needles, and thinble(notice mine is old and used ). and, a small pair of scissors

Ninnie, it is so lovely to see a post from you. I am glad you are now progressing on this lovely quilt, since we followed you cutting and stitching the top together. I look forward to following your progress.

Thank you Ninny so much for your tute. Hand quilting is something I hope to do in the future and it is so nice to see pictures of how it is done. I'm going to look at your other posts as well and then I'll print all of them so I'll have a 'story of hand quilting' in my notebook. Thank you again.

Thank you for the post. I really enjoyed it. I hand pieced and handquilted my first quilt almost 40 years ago and am now just getting back to quilting again. That 1/4' tape looks like a fantastic help...I recall making VERY light marks with a number 2 pencil for mine - will definately try to locate some of that tape. I have purchased some stencils and am eager to try them.
